My Hair besties series- Introduction

I am one of those people that was not very nice with their hair through the years like coloring frequently, perming, bleaching and ooh I can go on and go on ...which now make me even more sorry for them.

I have naturally straight black hair and always wanted wavy hair in some other color! so I did perm my hair 3 times and 2 of them were pretty damaging to my hair and honestly I lost so much of hair over those. last year, I started to grow my hair and kind of recovering from my last perm and kind of did succeed. I used really strong hair conditioner and hair masks frequently but a few months ago I gave up , I decided to cut my hair short and start over again ( I mean growing long). It was a sudden move and I cut about 30 cm of my hair; but having short healthy hair is always better to have long damage ones, at least that's what I think.

I did cut my hair again few weeks ago and I am enjoying my short hair, I got so many complements even from complete strangers :).

Even though now I have my natural hair without any chemicals on them I still condition them frequently because by the time they grow, these will be the oldest part of my hair and they may be more fragile that the rest which cause breaking and frizzing and all other unflattering hair features. don't get me wrong I still love to change my hair style and color but I am kind of holding back on it. my hair stylist recommended to me to wait till summer and then do little high light or something, since he know what is he talking about I will listen.

So after this long introduction I will write about the my hair besties so far; products that I tried and still using that have done good for my hair.
So are you one of those people like mine or you don't use chemicals on your hair?!

My hair changes in less than a year, I don't have the same style as the last one now; I cut it even shorter but did not have any picture of it :)

I have exactly the same problem as you. Before my pregnancy i have very long hair and i liked changing frequently my color. In my life i have had blond, red, black hair. After my pregnancy i lost too much hair so i decided last year to cut my hair short. At the beginning i didn t feel confortable but after like you i got so many complements. Finaly i like my short hair it is more convenient during the winter but i am looking forward to having long hair. By the way, i am looking for a good hair dresser do you know a good one in Montréal ?

About Me

wellcome to my blog

Well, Hello there. I'm Mania. Wellcome to my Blog.

I love beautiful things: Design, art, photography, flowers, landscapes, pottery, jewellery, fashion, colours, music, people. I love to smile, basically I smile all the time and when I am not definitely something is wrong.

I love cooking and baking and eating. I enjoy experiencing new food and recipes. I try to have a healthy appetite but I do not ban myself from eating anything.

I enjoy keeping healthy and active. I like working out and doing exercises, yoga, taking walks and being outdoors.I enjoy dancing and dancing related workouts at gym and I’d like to do a bit more of them specially Latin dancing.

I’m a bit obsessed about shopping. Clothes, shoes, jewellery, make up and anything girly. But I’m a careful shopper; I’m always on the hunt for a bargain and deals. I do consider myself as a good shopper (which was also told by my friends), I am always on the search of well priced items which does not necessary means cheap, as cheap items will turn out to have cheap qualities too.

I enjoy being crafty, like drawing, painting, sewing, knitting and I wish I had more time to do each one of them.

I love going out, sitting in cafes, dining out, house gatherings, parties, barbecues, picnics! I live in a place that has winter for almost 6 months, so I cherish every minute of summer weather by outdoor activity of any kind.In winter times, I can’t think of anything more satisfying than sitting in front of TV, relaxing on a mushy couch, eating take-outs, lights on low, in my PJs and watching TV or reading. I’m a home girl at heart. I also love to go to movies, theatre, musicals, and spectacle occasionally.

Basically, I try to live a balanced life. Fun. Serious. Fast. Slow. Brainy. Relax. Intense. Lazy. My working situation is kinda serious, intense so I try to balance everything with my other passions. This blog is where I write about things I love to do, things that help me to keep my life in balance
